Gotcha guy is annoying, but not wrong. Folks hate having their hypocrisy pointed out.
Person A: “Smoking is associated with chronic health disorders. You shouldn’t smoke.”
Person B: “But you smoke yourself. So much for your argument!”
The person who posted this probably did it on an iPhone while patting themselves on the back
The hypocrisy fallacy, also known as the tu quoque fallacy, occurs when someone discredits an argument by pointing out the opponent’s inconsistent behavior instead of addressing the argument itself.
You (and several others) are missing the entire point of this meme/comic.
It’s not about iPhones or smart, ethical alternatives in consumerism.
It is making fun of those who insist that hypocrisy negates facts!
A lifelong smoker tells you that smoking is bad. You point out what a hypocrite he
is because he smokes. Does any of that have any relevance at all regarding the fact
that smoking is indeed bad?
Stop focusing on the iPhone. The meme/comic is about hypocrisy and how people are dismissive
of facts if they feel they can accuse people of being hypocrites.
There is a fallacy for this:
